[Message for the students]
"The past" which we seek to clarify at all costs, "the present" which we always want to value, and "the future" which we wish to create. I think that people who hold at least one of these principles to heart, not to say all three, would choose to study archival science. I believe that one must stand up to face many realities - the reality of war, work done in earnest, a society filled with children's hope, and much more. Can it not be said that the creation of "archives" is one of the realistic steps in facing these situations with honesty?
We do not have the ability to master these steps yet. However, cooperating with the students as well as many other sectors, we want to develop archival science with rich diversity and build a foundation of "archives culture."
